About This Project
The Southern California Consolidation Project for the California Air Resource Board (CARB) is a 400,000-square-foot facility on a 19-acre campus located in Riverside, CA. The campus consolidates five existing locations into one state-of-the-art facility and is one of the world’s largest and most advanced emissions testing and research facilities. Dyson & Womack were selected by the State of California to lead the CARB public art program from the development of the Art Plan to its final implementation.
The development of the public art collection at CARB was motivated by understanding public art in dialogue with climate change, justice, activism, and an exploration of time. Throughout the project, we asked artists to consider sustainability within the lifespan of the artwork, its maintenance, and long-term care. Now the public art collection is the world’s largest permanent collection of artworks addressing air quality and the effects of climate change.
The collection includes work by Noé Montes, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Tomás Saraceno, Refik Anadol, and Allora & Calzadilla.
